I haven’t been paying that much attention this summer.
Is it likely we would go after a traditional striker? It just feels like we will go into the season with the same forwards but with Nunez out and Veertz in as a false 9? It just makes sense on a midfielder level as well knowing the quality we have there..
I was trying to work out how who you meant.
I think Nunez goes we will probably then buy a bit like the Quansah deal.
I just feel, unless Diaz does go, we don’t have room in the team for another forward with Florian already here.
But I would love to take Ekitike and shit on Arsenal’s parade.
Lord knows they’ve taken deals off us over the years.
To be honest looking at the article it seems like Sports Bild trying to cram as many clubs that will get clicks into anyone headline.
Arsenal really didn’t need to rebuild going into this season.
Couple of signings (which included a striker) at best and they would have had their season sorted.
Instead kepa , Zubimendy and norgaard arrive in areas where they do not necessarily need bench strength.
Why would they sign a striker and ruin the running joke? Spurs already fucked up Spursy, and things are not going well.
It is literally replacing players they are losing 1:1 - Neto (back up keeper), Party and Jorginho.
I think they will miss the physicality of Partey, especially against sides who want to have a go.
Zubimendi will slightly improve them as he is a good player, who will pass well and set the tempo, allowing Rice to push on. But I do think they will miss Partey.
Arsenal are obviously a very good side. Their biggest need is a reliable goalscorer. If and when they sign him they should be in the race for the Prem to the end.
If they fall short again, depending on how they do it, the question marks will really need to be asked about Arteta. I see a team that has regressed in the past year or two, pursuing marginal and snide gains, but forgetting the lovely football and freedom they were playing with along the way. If they get back to that they might win the Prem. If they depend on set pieces and the dark arts, they will annoy like some sort of Atletico side, but it will hold them back.
They were in the race til the end and they went backwards last season. Playing a brand of football that looked desperate. There is always a case that a manager has taken it as far as he can go and I do wonder if this is it.
yeah, hes not the most likeable fella in the universe so wont be overly sad to see him leave empty handed…
bit like our brodgers, what with the pick pockets and the speakers playing the anfield crowd and the other hysterics…
i often wonder what the plays whatsapp chat looked like immediately after those ‘lessons’…im tipping would have been good for a laugh
Sure marginal increments at best. Though doubt if Jorginho needed replacement considering he barely played last season as it is. And they do have skelly who’s a midfielder playing as LB.
Can now openly name this guy.
Shit club who defended him.
How convenient….
No fucking way. This has been an open secret for 2-3 years and now there is finally follow through and identification a matter of days after his contract ends. This is shady as fuck.
Arsenal didn’t win the league despite defending an accused rapist
Arsenal had ethics when Wenger was there. Absolutely none now
Degenerated into Artethics now.
Twice…suppose there is some justice in that. Especially as financial dopers didn’t win it both times instead.
